Who will throw the knock-out punch in this year's U.S General Elections? The current P.O.T.U.S is up to his usual tricks, of playing the man not the ball, by calling political opponent Joe Biden, “weak as hell,” “stupid,” and “a low-IQ individual”. In the primaries, Biden certainly stepped up to the plate despite not being the initial frontrunner. Will Kanye West be a realistic dark horse option?  I think you get the point now. On this week's episode, we chat to Daniele Canepa, a linguistics expert, writer and proud Genoese who tells us about how and why sport lexicon is so prevalent in politics. Drawing on examples from his native homeland, Daniele tells us about Silvio Berlusconi's dramatic rise to political power,  beginning with his ownership of A.C Milan and subsequently utilizing different sporting metaphors in his attempt to alter the way in which Italians relate to politics, creating a positive public image for himself and his new political party, and to attract particular sections of the electorate. We're certainly in full swing on this one!
